What happened to J CREW? I hadnt ordered anything for a few years and boy, has the quality gone downhill! Even the colors and styles are not so great anymore. I have been shopping J CREW well before they sold online. I still have an Oxford shirt from 20 yrs ago. I doubt the shirts I bought for this summer will last the season. Plus the boyfriend chinos fit really bad. I will no longer shop there. Very disappointed.

J. Crew used to be a mainstay in American goods, gorgeous streamlined wearables now are a bit shoddy and cheap. Again, companies outsourcing to factories where the 'fast fashion' churn out is effecting quality and thereby met with sizing issues and cheaper materials and low quality garments. Some basics are still ok, it's hit and miss. Online the customer service is pretty much non-existent. Wait for sales of certain products, coupon codes and such, if you are a fan of the J. Crew brand.

Great Experience
November 4, 2022

I went to J. Crew at the Garden State Plaza yesterday where they were holding a jacket for me. I have to tell you there is a salesgirl I asked for her name and she said Johanna. S. Store #537. She was fantastic, caring, and extremely helpful and in my book over the top. Really went out of her way to help and accommodate me. She definitely is an asset to your store. I hope that she sees or hears about this review I'm doing because I'm sure it will make her day! I definitely will shop more with this store and this is what makes people come back and shop.
Sincerely,
Deborah A. Celentano

Poor customer service
September 13, 2022

J Crew service and customer s service has deteriorated. I am a customer for over 10; years. I live in Philadelphia and cannot visit store, closed recently.
I have bought on line very often and sometimes had to exchange the item in store with no problem and friendly, professional employees.
Now on line purchases are paid via Comenity Bank.
I have only experienced unfriendly service when calling to pay my balance. I could not complete my payment on line due to a " glitch" as Comenity/JCREW communicated on line, so no choice.
I need to rethink buying at JCREW bc I don't like condescending, patronizing, rude customer service.

Love JCrew since it began as a catalog in early 1980's. The quality is not at all what it used to be, but the customer service is excellent if you have a credit card from them! Otherwise it depends on manager of store! Overall still good company, I'm rooting for them to come back from the ashes!

Bad return policies
August 13, 2021

I shop a lot of online clothing stores and J. Crew is by far the most difficult to work with.
My previous order contained the wrong items in the package.

This order I had difficulty getting the right sizing. I called J. Crew and they advised me of the sizing but once I got them they were still the wrong size. The representative I first spoke with was a rude gentleman that was apparently in a hurry. He rushed me into completing a second order and charged me shipping to replace the items that were the wrong size. I had to call again this morning because there was a third item that we did not get included (because he was rushing me), and he forgot to send a return label to me. I am confused about the $7.50 return fee, because no other clothing company charges this fee. I will be sure to stay away from J. Crew moving forward and inform others to do the same.

I spent over 400$ on a cashmere scarf and boyfriend sweater. I wore the sweater only one month and it started to pill. I felt the scarf was also very flimsy for what it should be. I contacted them by their *******@jcrew.com four times with no reply. I contacted them at their other order.com address and no reply. Not even a "we will answer your request in 48 hours." This has been well over one month and still no answer. My next step is to contact them via telephone. What I have found is their material has become substandard. Their quality has gone way down. I know I am not overly crazy when it comes to my clothes, but when I spend that kind of money, I want my items to last and look good. This isn't inexpensive piece of clothing as far as I'm concerned. Stay tuned as I will let you know how it plays out once I call and speak with a representative.

The handbag is so cute, I have gotten so many compliments already! It is big enough to hold a large wallet and makeup bag with room for sunglasses and such... the inner pockets help keep you extra organized.The crossbody is just the right length to sit on your hip. I love it :)

Customer for 20 years
January 29, 2020

Been J Crew customer for 2 decades. Lost my package worth $300. Told there was nothing they could do. I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars w J Crew throughout these years. My acct is now deleted and I will never buy another item from them. I buy from many high end stores and I have NEVER had the trouble that I do w J Crew. For a 20 plus year customer to say that they are done... says a lot. They treat their customers poorly. The delivery is BAD and SLOW. God forbid u don't have a tag on some return merchandise u just bought the day before. For a 20 plus year customer to say they are done, do you really need to hear more?

Let me start by saying that I'm a dress girl who lives in the tropics. I love J. Crew because their size consistency is always spot-on and their fabrics are soft, comfortable and fabulous! Many of the dresses I have of theirs are timeless in style and have lasted many years. I'm always told that I have the best taste in clothes. I credit the quality of J. Crew for much of my amazing wardrobe.

Discrimination
April 25, 2022

They found me on indeed, the district manager emailed me to set up an interview. The position was lower than my current holding position which I was okay with as long as my salary was matched. The process was quick and easy, even the interview went well it lasted for a hour. However you can tell that Ashley wasn't thrilled to be interviewing me, however I kept my professionalism and articulated my words. I received a email saying I wasn't qualified a couple days after my interview, I was completely flabbergasted because my retail experience and background over qualified me for the position. Very distasteful experience, they ought to diversify their employees!

I bought a camisole on the JCrew website in part because it received a good review. The product fit poorly and was cheaply made. I tried to review the garment myself but was unable to do so. Customer service told me "I'm sorry but that part of our website is down and I don't have a date when it will be back up."

They are fine but not distinctive and quite expensive. They do not have many or very good sales other than things that didn't move because they were overpriced and just ok. They nice things they get in usually go fast and then aren't available anymore. They also don't have a large selection overall.

Took over a week to respond to my multiple emails. They overcharged me. People on chat would promise me something and not do it. Kept having to contact them and the totals I was charged are STILL wrong. Not to mention it took 2 WEEKS to get my order.

Racial Discrimination
March 25, 2023

Around 4:15 today at the JCrew at 6910 Fayetteville Rd, space 155 Durham, NC, my family and I walked into JCrew, and a Caucasian employee in the store greeted us. I kindly went up to them ( J.Crew employee) and asked if I could use a restroom, and he/she replied that they didn't have one and informed me I had to go to Moe's next door. For the record, I'm a brown complexion man I went to Moe's and came back. A few minutes later, a Caucasian woman asked a JCrew employee if she could use the restroom, and he walked the lady back to the bathroom.

I will no longer be doing any business with JCrew

JCrew = racial discrimination

A terrible experience!
August 27, 2017

J Crew demonstrates that they are not capable to handle their business appropriately, and instead they think they can treat the clients according to what they cannot manage.
They are not ready to meet the needs of what they want to sell, drag your orders online and after a long wait cancel your order without consulting you. How much of the above shows the class they claim?

J Crew charged me a 35 dollar late fee on my due date and when I called and spoke to a Supervisor Jennifer ID # 9324 her response was I paid my bill at 6:30 P.M. and that at 6:00 P.M. is a new day. Meanwhile we have 6 more hours before the day ends.My bill was 35 dollars and I paid 35 dollars meanwhile I was charged a late fee if 35 dollars so that means I paid zero dollars on my bill.

J. Crew used to do at least 40 percent off everything, no exclusions for Black Friday. Whomever is in charge now should be shown the door. Practically anything of decent quality is excluded from their Black Friday discount. I refuse to support the new management team of this company with their rip off mentality. Practically every other retailer is doing steep discounts with no exclusions for Black Friday. J Crew has beautiful items this year but their Black Friday weekend is a joke. Don't bother buying from them as what you'll repeatedly find on their website is the statement "Exclused from promo." SMH at their arrogance and the fake "only a few left" inventory quantity warning on items which disappears and reappears by the hour. Total rip off.

Company has been struggling since blowing through two CEOs and a lead designer. Quality
Is falling and they are trying to firesale their goods while going through a bankruptcy. Many orders ultimately get canceled because of poor stock management. All of this has resulted in a huge degradation of service and leaves the customer wondering what the point is. Long gone are the days of limited, quality goods and top level customer service. As a customer my only hope is one day another brand takes up the helm of what J. Crew used to be
